Some of our main goals are to boost team and school spirit, promote pride in community and raise funds to support ALL student athletes.

We need your help!

Student season passes (CUB) are on sale for $25 until August 26th - we have extended this by a week! On August 27th, those passes will return to normal price of $50.

We want our stadiums, fields, and gymnasiums filled with students and families to support our War Hawks!

Season passes include all sporting events at all 3 schools AND the funds raised from these membership passes go right back to our student athletes!

MIDDLE SCHOOL (6-8)

White Knoll Middle School prepares students for success by teaching them how to engage in self-directed learning that supports what they learn in the classroom. Students use data notebooks to record what they learn, their learning goals, and even assess their progress towards their own academic goals.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

“I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the community of White Knoll Middle as principal. I am excited to work with the faculty, staff, students, and parents to continue providing a high-quality education in a positive learning environment.”
